We are chicken people on Avon Mountain in Avon CT. We have 26 chicks to be laying hens and 12 meat birds (cornish rocks).
We want to control our source of food for eggs and chicken meat. My Wife and I like chickens.
We have 7 Rhode Island Reds, 6 ISA Browns, 6 Black Sexlinks and 6 Amber...
I need to make a coop and run for approximately 26 laying hens and for 12 meat birds (cornish rocks).
That being said, I assume about a 12' x 12' x 8' coop to house them will be useful, however, how much run space do you all recommend that be attached to the coop?
Also, any advice on making...
